Awful, need to check out movie making 101


There will probably be spoilers in here and you shouldnt care because this movie is awful.

Eight strangers out for a game of paintball wind up getting hunted by some guy who is turn being watched by some all-powerful type group that likes to have front row seats at killings. Anyhow the dialogue is completely pedestrian, they yell f a lot so you know when things are getting tense, the acting is pretty bad, and the execution atrocious. It's really hard to watch because no one does anything that makes any sense. LIke after they start getting shot at with real bullets they hold onto their heavy looking paintball weapons as if they will do some good somehow, constantly scream at the top of their lungs, and logically enough keep going after the flags despite people getting killed (the last point was sarcastic).

But to top it off they dont bother with any character development so not only dont you care as the people get killed you actually look forward to it since it means the movie is one death closer to ending. Factor in the paintball idea has been done before and you're left with a movie that isnt original, clever or well made. In my book that is worth 1 star.
